Gerbils beat hell out of any other ammunition I've ever seen. "Come back, we're gonna reload.."

I'm surprised. The little guys get up and scurry off . . . Could almost hear the voice of John Cameron Swayze announcing "They took a licking and . . ." The ad succeeded in getting my attention, although I don't remember anything about it other than the gerbils. It was an animation that was less graphic than a Roadrunner cartoon, but it did seem to be a bit on the edge for mainstream TV (CNBC). The company doing the ads is Cyberian Outpost, an online computer store. Its CEO appears on CNBC Squawk Box this morning.
